Also, you probably want a WARN_ON(in_nmi()) there, this function is
_NOT_ NMI safe.
I had a wee think about that, and I think the below is safe.

(with the obvious problem that WARN from NMI context is not safe)

It does not give you up-to-date overcommit times but your version didn't
either so I'm assuming you don't need those, if you do need those it
needs more but we can do that too.

s/local_irq_safe/local_irq_save, and I have compiled and tested this function
and it is fine. Will use it in the next set.

Thanks.
